All stories about "beauty" should not be visualized

It’s still far worse than the original (for example, the episode of Aschenbach’s boat ride at the beginning didn’t capture the ghostly feeling of the original, and the ending was also poorly shot. Aschenbach’s perspective was too strong and lacked the kind of hidden narrator of the original work. Han's condescending sarcasm) and Bourne Beauty is beautiful, once embodied, I always feel that no matter how beautiful a beauty is, it will almost make sense (and his posture is so bad... how can a beauty hunch back!!!! And he is too tall It's too close to a grown man! I declare that beautiful boys are not allowed to be more than 14 years old! Beautiful boys must not have sexual characteristics!) But in the whole film, Tacchio hardly speaks or changes his expression, which is well handled and tower The scene where Chio scuffles with his playmates on the beach is also very well shot, with the unique eroticism from Aschenbach's point of view, and the beauty of the plague and delirium that is more like the film in the film. The fact that the visions are connected is also handled well, especially the part where Tacchio walks around the column in front of Aschenbach is arguably the only moment in the whole movie that really comes close to the vertigo of the real and the fantasy (like the 97 version of Lo Rita's drive in the forest) is far less effective but still wonderful

Before Aschenbach's death, it was difficult to put on makeup and not dance in "Mr. Butterfly". When I first saw Tacchio, the first action was to cover my face with a newspaper.

Death in Venice quotes

  • Gustav von Aschenbach: I remember we had one of these in my father's house. The aperture through which the sand runs is so tiny that... that first it seems as if the level in the upper glass never changes. To our eyes it appears that the sand runs out only... only at the end... and until it does, it's not worth thinking about... 'til the last moment... when there's no more time left to think about it.

  • Gustav von Aschenbach: You know sometimes I think that artists are rather like hunters aiming in the dark. They don't know what their target is, and they don't know if they've hit it. But you can't expect life to illuminate the target and steady your aim. The creation of beauty and purity is a spiritual act.

    Alfred: No Gustav, no. Beauty belongs to the senses. Only to the senses.
